Our Personal Experiences

This is a UK-based charity run by Ethiopian former child wives. As our personal experiences have shown, a former child wife may leave Ethiopia and move to the UK and other developed western countries, but she can never leave behind the social, health and economic consequences of child marriage.

Having missed on basic education, and unable to read or write, a former child wife cannot benefit from the activities associated with 8 UN Millennium Development Goals. This seriously affects not only the former child wife, but also her children and the community in which she lives. This charity works to limit the impacts of child marriage.

We thank the following for their support: Ethiopian women Olympic gold medalists Tiki Gelana, Turinesh Debaba and Mersert Defar; The British Members of Parliament who signed Parliamentary Motion No 1135 and the British National Lotte
